He left an indellible mark on our island, seeking every opportunity to promote Malta in the French media and to further the historical and cultural ties that have long existed between us and France. He was afterwards appointed French Ambassador to Unesco in Paris, where he is now representing the United Nations University think-tank. He is a well-known figure in French literary circles, having won various prestigious prizes, amongst others the Prix Populiste (1988), the Prix Liberté Littéraire (1994), the Prix des Deux Magots (1997), the Prix Saint Simon (2014) and the Prix Paul Morand of the French Academy for the totality of his work.
